Famous quotes containing the word physics:
“But this invites the occult mind,
Cancels our physics with a sneer,
And spatters all we knew of denouement
Across the expedient and wicked stones.”

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Mathematics should be mixed not only with physics but with ethics.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
